Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Most mid-market B2B companies find that Coupa or GEP SMART provide the best balance of depth, analytics, and mid-market pricing” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Strategic sourcing · direct prompt · first choice
“Best overall broad suite: Coupa, Ivalua, SAP Ariba, JAGGAER, GEP” GPT-5.4 mini · Procure-to-pay · comparative prompt · first choice
“the best overall fit is often GEP SMART” Perplexity Sonar · Strategic sourcing · direct prompt · first choice
“Offer enterprise-grade capabilities (like deep spend analytics and contract management) but packaged in a scaled-down, quicker-to-deploy format” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Strategic sourcing · scale prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“NOT Recommended for Limited Budgets” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Strategic sourcing · budget prompt · hard negative
“rather than a full suite like SAP Ariba, Coupa, Ivalua or GEP that is built for larger, ERP-native estates” Muse Glimmer 30B · Strategic sourcing · scale prompt · soft negative
“GEP SMART: $500K+/year — Upper mid-market with consulting-led delivery” Kimi K2 · Strategic sourcing · direct prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named GEP SMART. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 169 of the 170 answers that named GEP SMART and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when GEP SMART's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as GEP SMART, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for GEP SMART by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where GEP SMART is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name GEP SMART, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
